Making Billions: The Private Equity Podcast for Fund Managers, Alternative Asset Managers, and Venture Capital Investors · 3 Principles Used to Raise $500M in 2 Years · 29 Jun 2026 podcast

We're not sure that we want to be invested in this space.

And we're not sure that we want to be a minority anymore.

We're really going to go for full control positions.

And I said, look, I don't know that I want to go and work for you, especially if you're not sure you want to continue doing the very specific thing that I've built my career doing.

And we had a very adult conversation and ultimately worked out to sell them our GP position in the assets that we had done together and buy back our operating company position and then just do things separately going forward.

We've still got a very good relationship with that team and still look at some deals together.

But being captive to them and investing off of their balance sheet, we've pulled that back tremendously.

So that takes us now back to

you know, 600 million ish or so in AUM as we kind of build back up with multiple investors on a go forward basis.

The thing about getting into a relationship with someone, if you take the time on the front end to build the right framework of the partnership, when things have to change and you have to unwind those things or you have to go different directions,

It becomes a lot easier.

Again, if you if you have built the credibility and the trust, if you have a strong relationship when it comes to navigating those changes, it's just another day at the office.

It's just another part of building a business and growing a business and making investments.

And so we were incredibly fortunate to to partner with such a top tier firm and allow them to help us grow in that way.

I mean, it was a bit of a unicorn situation.

I don't know if we'll, you know.

We're not two years old anymore, so we don't have that going for us.

But, you know, a relationship like that comes along once in a while.

And it was we benefited tremendously from it.

And I hope they did, too.
